[@ThomasJordanTV]

Great tips! I liked #5! I find people who I like and study their style. Then I find out what I like that they do and make it my own. Anyone else do this? :)

[@Buzzsprout]

Great to know, Thomas! A good way to skill up and become better. 😊

What tripod table mic stand is being used i the first clip? Looks pretty stable. Thanks

[@Buzzsprout]

Hey! Here is the tripod that we are using: www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-PIXI-Tripod-Black-MTPIXI-B/dp/B00D76RNLS/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1M8TH8MYIP5WU&keywords=manfrotto+tripod&qid=1640010061&sprefix=manfrotto%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-3

[@boblansonfig3972]

Yo Alex , where did you get that mic? I like how it sounds

[@ThomasJordanTV]

Hey Bob! It looks like a Shure SM7B. They are pretty pricey, but worth it. Just make sure you get the cloud lifter, some good cables, a good interface / mixer. Oh ya, don't forget to sound proof the room too haha. The Shure MV7 is a plug and go option and less expensive option. Hope this helps!
